A bit of that manufacturing got here in rubbish time, however with Gibson bothered by his nagging damage, it would not be a shock to see Washington give him per week off someday quickly. Both means, McKissic is a must have handcuff who can have standalone PPR worth throughout the bye weeks. If Gibson does miss time, McKissic could be an RB2 in all codecs. Subsequent week, he’ll face Inexperienced Bay. — Matt Lutovsky

He caught 4 passes (5 targets) for 101 yards and two TDs in Week 6, although it needs to be famous a 57-yard Hail Mary on the finish of the primary half accounted for a good quantity of that manufacturing. Both means, with Odell Beckham Jr. (shoulder) banged up and Jarvis Landry (knee) not anticipated to be a goal hog when he returns, DPJ has the potential to be a reasonably constant producer.

Hilton truly led the Colts in targets, which maybe says extra about his comparatively low ceiling than the rest, however we all know he is able to large performs in any matchup, so he is a pleasant man to have round throughout the bye weeks. He is in play subsequent week in opposition to San Francisco and can be an particularly good play in Week 8 in opposition to Tennessee. — ML

• #7

  D’Ernest Johnson, RB, Browns

  Johnson’s final waiver worth will depend on the well being of each Kareem Hunt (calf) and Nick Chubb (calf). Chubb did not play in final week’s sport, whereas Hunt exited early. With the Browns enjoying on Thursday evening in Week 7, Johnson might discover himself in a main RB position or a secondary one. Both means, he’ll have worth within the Browns’ run-heavy offense. Whereas he did not do a lot final week, that was partially due to sport script. We have seen him shine up to now when considered one of Cleveland’s prime RBs is out, and he can do it in opposition to the Broncos, too. — ML

• #8

  Mark Ingram, RB, Texans

  Towards Indianapolis in Week 6, Ingram rushed 18 occasions for 73 yards and caught two passes for eight yards.

• #11

  Christian Kirk, WR, Cardinals

  Kirk caught five-of-eight targets for 75 yards and a landing in opposition to Cleveland and needs to be rostered in most leagues. Arizona is a uncommon offense with tons of fantasy-relevant choices, and Kirk is only one of them. It is vital to know there’s boom-or-bust potential right here. No less than two Arizona WRs have stable video games each week, however there are a whole lot of mouths to feed within the offense. Arizona performs Houston in Week 7, so any of them could possibly be in for nuclear fantasy factors — JS

• #12

  A.J. Inexperienced, WR, Cardinals

  Inexperienced has continued to shock us and has been productive after accidents derailed his previous few seasons. In Week 6, he caught five-of-six targets for 79 yards and a landing.

That stated, he is a prime streaming possibility, however he needs to be rostered for his season-long worth, too. — JS

• #13

  Mecole Hardman, WR, Chiefs

  Hardman has acquired 17 targets over the previous two weeks, so we will not ignore the heavy utilization. He is been a letdown up to now, however possibly it is time for him to interrupt out. The Chiefs want somebody to step up, so this could possibly be his likelihood. He’ll face off in opposition to a horrendous Titans’ secondary in Week 7, so you may take into account him a high-risk flex possibility. — JS

  Michael Gallup, WR, Cowboys

  Gallup can be on a bye in Week 7, however he is set to return from a calf damage in Week 8. Bounce on him now earlier than he turns into too extremely owned. — JS

• #15

  Rashod Bateman, WR, Ravens

  Bateman had a decent NFL debut, catching four-of-five targets for 29 yards. In fact, these aren’t monster numbers, but it surely was good to see him make an affect early on. He stepped in straight away within the absence of Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and commanded an 18-percent goal share simply as many targets as Marquise Brown. Lamar Jackson has improved dramatically as a passer, so these are nice indicators heading right into a matchup with Cincinnati. — JS

• #16

  Devonta Freeman, RB, Ravens

  When you’re seeking to get a bit of the Ravens’ backfield, Freeman is trying like the most suitable choice behind Latavius Murray. He led Baltimore in carries (8) and speeding yards (53) in opposition to the Chargers and in addition drew two targets. Shifting ahead, he might carry some sneaky worth, and he’ll play the Bengals in Week 7. — JS

• #17

  Le’Veon Bell, RB, Ravens

  Bell’s stat line in Week 6 wasn’t spectacular (8-18-1), however that is at very least a backfield to observe transferring ahead.

• #18

  Rashaad Penny, RB, Seahawks

  With Chris Carson (neck) being positioned on IR, Penny (calf) could possibly be a sneaky stash.

His best-case state of affairs is changing into a workhorse for Seattle with Carson sidelined. — JS

• #19

  Tarik Cohen, RB, Bears

  Cohen (knee) is eligible to play after being on the PUP record for the primary six weeks of the season. We’re unsure he’ll return, but when he does, there’s room for manufacturing for a pass-catching RB within the Bears’ offense. Damien Willaims is on the reserve/Covid-19 record, however he needs to be again quickly. Both means, Cohen ought to have some kind of position on this offense. This can be a PPR-specific pickup. — JS

• #20

  Kenyan Drake, RB, Raiders

  This sport was in all probability a fluke since Drake had simply six touches, however he did rating two touchdowns. Some gamers simply have a nostril for the top zone, and we’ll see if that is the case with a brand new play-caller in Las Vegas. The Eagles are his Week 7 opponent, and so they have been within the bottom-10 in opposition to RBs in fantasy and have typically given up factors to backup RBs. — JS

• #21

  JaMycal Hasty/Jeff Wilson Jr., RBs, 49ers

  Hasty (ankle) is eligible to return in Week 7 and Wilson Jr. quickly, too, and we all know San Francisco is not shy about giving a number of guys carries from the backfield. Who is aware of what their roles can be, however the uncertainty makes them enticing on this case. — JS

  Marquez Callaway, WR, Saints

  Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre’Quan Smith (hamstring) are eligible to return after the Saints bye, however you need to suppose they’re going to be eased into motion. New Orleans takes on an terrible Seattle secondary in Week 7, so Callaway is a sexy flex consideration. –JS

• #24

  Darnell Mooney, WR, Bears

  In Week 6, Mooney caught five-of-eight targets for 45 yards and one landing. He is led the staff in targets and it appears to be like like Chicago is beginning to open up the passing sport for Justin Fields. Chicago faces arguably the worst secondary (Tampa Bay) within the league in Week 7, so Mooney has the possibility to eat on this spot and be value at the least a flex in a six-team bye week. — JS

• #25

  Allen Lazard, WR, Packers

  Lazard is not considerably to belief each week, however he appears to be the No. 2 WR on this offense — not Randall Cobb. Possibly it will not proceed to play out that means, however he caught three-of-five targets for 27 yards and a landing in Week 6. Inexperienced Bay faces a struggling Washington secondary in Week 7, so Lazard is a deep league streaming possibility. — JS

  Tua was productive in his first sport again from injured reserve (ribs) — finishing 33-of-47 passes for 329 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception.

  Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Broncos

  The Browns’ protection appears to be like weaker now after a powerful begin to the season, so Bridgewater appears to be like to be a good possibility subsequent week in case your beginning QB is on a Week 7 bye. — JS

• #30

  Trey Lance, QB, 49ers

  Jimmy Garoppolo (calf) is predicted to return because the 49ers’ starter in Week 7, however we nonetheless like the concept of stashing Lance for the potential for late-season upside. We noticed indicators of what he can do in his first profession begin with 89 speeding yards. — JS

  C.J. Uzomah, TE, Bengals

  Uzomah has had some good video games this yr, together with in Week 6, and with a matchup in Week 7 in opposition to a Baltimore protection that is struggled in opposition to TEs this yr, he is in play as a streamer. — ML
